Well......we defeated the Sunnis when we got rid of Saddam. The Shiites are now in power but under threat from the Sunni insurgency so I think that means we have to support the current Shiite government.
In Syria however, we support the insurgents and Al Qaeda against the Assad regime. The Syrian insurgents are directly linked to the Iraqi insurgents.
Iran is consistent. They support the current Shiite government in Iraq and support the Assad regime in Syria. To maintain consistency in both countries and to maintain our anti Iranian stance, the USA needs to support the Sunni insurgency and Al Qaeda.
Perhaps the USA should ignore the whole thing and go and destabilize South America. Destabilizing is what we're good at!
